Web awards
To motivate staff members to make great web content, my co-editor, assistant editor and I award a reporter and a photographer for content that we thought stood out from each web week. We recognize the staff members in class with certificates and a dollar store "prize," and then we hang the winning stories and photos outside our classroom so other students can see the content we're recognizing.

Awarded stories and photos display on a board outside the journalism classroom, along with Kansas Scholastic Press Association monthly contest awards and awarded content from the JagWire newspaper and JAG yearbook.
The certificates we give to staff members include the staff member's name, the content we're recognizing, the week of coverage and the signatures of the online editorial board and our adviser.
